Question

A wheel barrow containing 60 lbs requires what force to lift and what weight is held by the operator?

Answer 1

And how does this apply to the health and fitness category?

Answer 2

it all depends on how long its arms are. Without that measurement it cannot be worked out.

Also how far is the basket positioned from the wheel.

If it is positioned right on the wheel then the operator carries no weight.

Answer 3

If the weight is half way between the wheel and the operators hands when measure from a perpendicular line from the ground - the operator lifts 30lbs. The force is 30ft/lbs.
